Abstract

Let (Vi, ti) be a pair consisting of a solid torus Vi and an unknotted arc ti properly imbedded in Vi for i=1 and 2. Taking the union of these pairs we obtain a pair (M, K) of the 3-dimensional sphere or a lens space M and a knot K. We call such a knot K a genus one 1-bridge knot. In this paper we determine when a genus one 1-bridge knot is the trivial knot or a cabled knot.
